Execution
We draw on our Tier 1 Capital Ratio and 'AA' credit rating to execute portfolios on a risk basis at the most competitive rates in the market.
Agency execution - delivering alpha to you
When trading portfolios as an agent, we draw on our leading market share, the skills of our traders and the vast array of intelligent trading tools at our disposal.
All executions that exceed benchmark and deliver increased performance - alpha - are passed on to the investor allowing us to deliver truly successful executions.
Crossing system
UBS has technology that allows client orders to interact seamlessly with other UBS client flow. We cross orders with existing portfolio flows and source liquidity from all possible channels to achieve the best possible execution. The UBS Liquidity Network offers clients direct, measurable execution advantages through lower market impact, price improvement and frequent spread savings.
Risk trading - working for the right result
The issue of pre-hedging risk portfolios has dominated the portfolio trading arena over the past two years. UBS was the first global investment bank to reject the practice and has been a leading advocate in the movement to disregard such trading activities, which we believe to be detrimental to the effort to maximize asset value.
